Step Brothers Analysis

Comparing Two Dumb Comedies I love the movie genre that involves me to laugh and brings me happiness, so I will be comparing the film “Step Brothers” with the movie “Dumb and Dumber”. I chose these two movies because they are some of my favorite movies of all time; also the genre, comedy, is my favorite to watch. These movies interest me because they make some of funniest jokes with the funniest actors. These two actors, Will Ferrell and Jim Carrey, have been some of my favorite actors since I was a child. I could watch these movies over and over again and wouldn’t get tired of seeing it. If I was going through the tv guide I would immediately choose “Step Brothers”. At times during the movie the relationships between the main characters are not as great as they were at the beginning of the movie, but always get resolved at the end. The similarities that these two movies share is that the two main actors of the movie are not the brightest and do funny things, in character. When these actors are not in character they are very different, they are smart and comedic at the same time. In this …show more content…

The roles that these two actors play are very similar, as best friends/brothers. In “Dumb and Dumber”, Lloyd Christmas (Jim Carrey) and Harry Dunne (Jeff Daniels) live together in a apartment, barely getting by in life. Lloyd is a limo driver and Harry is a mobile dog groomer. These two characters would do anything to one another out because they are best buddies. These two are always causing trouble throughout the movie. Although, in the movie, “Step Brothers”, the characters, Brennan (Will Ferrel) and Dale (John C. Reilley), start off the movie hating each other because Brennan mom marries Dales Dad. As time passes and a lot of destruction, they become best of friends causing havoc together. That is how Jim’s role in “Dumb and Dumber” is similar to Will’s role in “Step

    Gene Wilder and Johnny Depp's performances in the two films are equally wonderful and yet, almost entirely different. While Wilder downplays the part with a quiet subtlety, Depp is over the top and manic. Depp's performance is also psychotic at points. Both actors have taken the part and made it their own. Wilder's lackadaisical attempts to stop the children from being take away, indifferently chanting things like "Help" and "Oh no" in monotone.

    Ethics means respecting all life in general. The cartoon, “Mascots” does the right action through the virtuous ethic and also shows a role reversal in racism, the blog “Who Will Save the Savior Sibling” does the right action through the virtuous ethic by attempting to defend Savior siblings nationwide because they can not defend themselves, and the excerpt from “Lather and Nothing Else” does the right action through the virtuous ethic. To begin, it is virtuously correct to treat everyone with the same dignity and respect. Phil Hands uses his cartoon Mascots to persuade people of caucasian descent that someone’s ethnic background should not be used as a symbol for something with no relation to said ethnicity, because no matter how hard you try, it will always be offensive.
